How to manually change the DNS zone files?

I'm running OS X version 10.11.2 (El Capitan) and using App Server version 5.0.15 on a Mac Mini.

I need to change the DNS Zone files manually because the DNS Server App Manager does not provide a U / I in order to add some elements (such as adding a delegation, etc.).  I use TextWrangler (5.0.2) as editor-in-Chief.

I found an old post on how to do this here, but the information listed it seems obsolete.

I was able to find the zone files to:

/ Library/server/name

as:

CBI .

When I try to save or overwrite the db. files, or try to save all the files in that directory, I get an error indicating that:

"Save the authenticated for this file failed (error application code: 20004).

Since a window Terminal, if I go to that directory and type:

Echo hello > temp.txt

I get:

Permission denied

I am logged in using an administrator account.

Before editing the db. files, I turned off the DNS in the App Server, then exit the server application server.

What should I do to manually update the db. files?

These files are protected from root.  You need to elevate your permissions to be able to change them.

Probably you use a text editor like vi, nano or pico command line.  sudo vi/path/to/file for example.

Back up the files first to protect against error.  In addition, be aware that Apple can run on some of your changes if you change the.app areas.

  • How to manually change the ports for HTTP on the server vCenter Server

    Hello Experts,

    We have Windows Server 2008 SP2 machine where we v5.1 installed with other SSO components, inventory services, vCenter Server and Update Manager.

    So we went from SSO, the inventory services and vCenter Server fine however, vCenter Server has stopped working. While we were to modernize SSO, the service could not start after the upgrade and the recd suite error "Service VMware KDC service could start.". So, we found the article on the VMware site that said port 88 to cause the problem. To find out more by using the netstat command, we found vpxd.exe used port 88. That is why, we stopped this service and proceeded to the upgrade of the SSO. The upgrade is complete following the inventory service and vCenter Server. While we were upgrading vCenter Server, we found that port 88 was used for HTTP communication.

    So we wasted on the use of the port. The upgrade has been completed successfully, however, we can not connect to vCenter server using vSphere Client version 5.1 or 5.5. We even tried to start the VMware VirtualCenter server using the services.msc console and it failed.

    So we assume the port changes happened during upgrade of the SSO meets the HTTP port by vCenter server usage. We need help on how to manually change the ports for HTTP on the vCenter server.

    Suggestions forward. This problem is with the production servers.

    Thank you

    Karan

    This has been resolved... port has been changed manually and works very well.

  • How to manually change the jad arguments

    Hi all

    I have a file .jad with the following line:

    MIDlet-1: myApp,com/myApp/images/icon.png,test_arg

    , where 'test_arg' is a string I want to get back on my method (String [] args) principal.

    I use Eclipse. I try to write "test_arg" on the field "argument Application" on the BlackBerry Application descriptor. After that, I build the project and install it using a real device using OTA, and I get the argument successfully.

    But the problem is: I can't manually change the value of the argument. For example: after generated Eclipse the .jad file, I changed the line above to the following value:

    MIDlet-1: myApp,com/myApp/images/icon.png,this_is_a_new_value

    After that, I downloaded and install the application by using OTA with the help of a real device, but in my main method, I still continue to retrieve the value 'test_arg '! Only it will update the value if I change on eclipse (using the field "argument Application" on the BlackBerry Application descriptor) before you build the project. But... If is not possible to change the value, then why we MIDlet-1 line on the .jad file? Or is it possible?

    Feel free for any suggestions or comments.

    The arguments are integrated in the COD, so change them after that in the JAD file will have no effect.

    This article can help you with the addition of a custom in your JAD file property/string.

  • How can I change the unrecognizable FrameMaker file format?  Why has he become unrecognizable after changing the file name?

    I update an existing project in the FrameMaker10, which is located in a structure of book.  I changed the names of the files in the directory, they upgrade 11 FrameMaker and saved.  When I try to add them to the book (whose name I also updated) a problem for some files. When I try t add them to the book file, I get an error message that says that the book file is unrecognizable.  (It allows me to add it, but it appears in the file book with an icon that has a blue "M" in there.)  Why is that happening and how can I change these files to normal FrameMaker files?  Thank you.

    Try to open the problem files using a text editor or viewer of files to see what the first bytes contain. Contains all the binary files valid FM FM 11 in the first bytes of the file.

    During the updating of the books, it is sometimes better just to create a new address book file and add files to it.

    When you rename files in a book, changes at the level of the system will break any links/cross-references between files, so it is always best to use the option rename book in the file to change the names of files FM. This will keep the correct links.

  • Captivate 5 - How to manually change the type of legend (style)

    I want a caption style different to some of the legends of text on a slide. How can I manually change the style of a text of the legend, for example Popup Adobe Adobe red, without changing all the text captions in the slide. In other words, I want to manually cancel the caption style to default text on some legends but not others. Style Manager object changes all the text captions, not what I need. (It was very easy to do in version 4, but can't find where to do it in version 5)

    Hello Jay,

    Just change using the Properties Inspector. There will be a sign more in front of the indication of the style, to indicate that this object has a different style to the default style, but that is not a problem at all. You can replace the default style in this way.

    Hope this is clear enough, otherwise please post again.

  • IOS publish setting, by manually changing the application descriptor file?

    I publish an IOS app with a few donkeys.

    ENA need some changes made to the application descriptor file, but when publishing for IOS, there is no authorization with the option "manually adjust" tab

    Any ideas how to change the file descriptor of IOS?

    Thank you

    Pete

    Well Yes, as Colin says, there is a block of you can add to your app xml descriptor (generator flash should generate one for you in your descriptor xml app and then you can just change).  Nothing in here will be added to the info.plist in the iOS app resulting.  There is also a block matching for Android.

    Thus, for example, if I want my app to be a universal app (iphone and ipad is intended), I would normally like this in info.plist, using the key UIDeviceFamily of Apple:

    UIDeviceFamily
    
      1
      2
    
    

    To do the same thing in the AIR, I add the following, inside the main application tag:

    
      UIDeviceFamily
      
        1
        2
      
      ]]>
    
    

    In this way, you can directly add nothing to the info.plist of the IPA file resulting of your choice and add the permissions/settings that allows Apple.

  • How can we change the types of files in Vista?

    I'm changing a. WAV (file audio .wav) in one. JPG (JPEG image file)

    Thanks in advance for your time

    I wish you had said this in the first place. It would have saved me time going haring Google trying to find something that would work. No wonder I couldn't understand how you were converting an audio file to an image file. Next time be more come on your final goals.

    Vista can display the file extension like any other Windows operating system. Go to control panel > Classic view > Folder Options > tab display uncheck the checkbox "Hide extensions of known file types". Apply/OK outside. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • How can I change the columns in File-> Open views program?

    I use El Capitan 10.11.3 on a MacBook Pro. I start with a clean system. I copied my files from my backup and reinstall my programs.

    This created a problem, seeking to resolve by changing the column headings in the views of program "file-> open.

    Whatever program I use, when I open a file, the window displays currently "Date added". It is of no use to me as the "Date added" to all my files is exactly the same - date, I have copied them on my own hard drive brilliant from my backup.

    In finder views, I can opt to display "update" instead of "added". So I order the files by date, whenever this is useful.

    However, whenever I try to open a file in a program, it is impossible to find things by date, because they all have the same "date added". I need to be able to see the "change date".

    I find anywhere that allows me to change this, either in the system preferences, or when opening a specific program. Don't I found clues to aid or the forum.

    Can someone tell me what I need to do?

    Thanks in advance.

    Mike

    Right click on the headers (if in list view) and select the headers you want to see.

    Alternatively, use the Arrangement to organize the desired date.
